Typhoon Haiyan leaves a trail of destruction and death across the Philippines

People wait for relief supplies

People wait for the drop-off of relief supplies from Philippine Air Force helicopters for Typhoon Haiyan survivors, in a remote island of Suluan, Samar in central Philippines.

The Philippines is facing an enormous rebuilding task from Typhoon Haiyan, which killed at least 3,974 people and left 1,186 missing, with many isolated communities yet to receive significant aid despite a massive international relief effort.
